BETHLEHEM – Developer Lou Pektor has lost a marquee commercial property in south Bethlehem.

At a Northampton County sheriff's sale Dec. 11, a subsidiary of Unity Bank took possession of Pektor's property on West Second Street. The property had housed Starters Riverport, a popular bar and restaurant, and Steel Fitness, which is still in operation.

The high-profile redevelopment project built out of the old Johnson Machinery building also features upscale condos at the south end of the Fahy Bridge. Starters Riverport quickly became one of the Lehigh Valley's busiest sports bars, but it fell on hard times during the Great Recession. It closed in 2013.
